1.2 GPS Reception
Your navigation system is equipped with a so-called GPS receiver which is used by the
system to determine your current position. For best reception, mount the device such
that it is exposed to the sky without obstruction. When used within buildings or the
interior of the car, GPS reception might not be sufficient for operation.
For this reason, please mount your navigation device directly below the windshield, as
far to the front as possible. Please note that metallized front windshields (heat insulating
windshields) may adversely affect GPS reception.
Navigation can only take place if a valid GPS signal is received. After setting up the
device for the first time or after traveling by plane, it may take a few minutes until a valid
signal is received.
If the GPS-receiver has not been configured yet the screen will display the above
message. By pressing the blue “GPS settings” button the GPS settings dialog is
displayed. Please read more about GPS configuration in chapter 5.8. Press the red
button to return to the main menue.
In case the GPS-receiver has been pre-configured but the GPS-signal is of poor quality
the message shown below will be displayed. Press the red button to return to the main
menue.
